mircea_popescu: The cmake in Debian/Ubuntu repositories used to have that pthread bug, first time I built a trb with `V` that happened. << i don't remember ever having this issue fwiw
hanbot:
mircea_popescu : i seem to remember a period in which the .ro line went that you were "illegal", yeah.

edivad: do you mean with paper and pencil, and then storing the paper in some hole very distant from NSA eyes?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform since we're on this btw, the way i want tmsr-rsa key generation to work is as follows : a contains a number of entropy bytes specified by user in tmsr-rsa.conf read whenever tmsr-rsa.conf specifies (such as urandom); b contains a base-tmsr string specified by user. c = base-tmsr(a).b ; p = nextprime(cut(sha512(c),257)) ; process is repeated for q = nextprime (cut(sha512(c'),258));

mircea_popescu: "Oakley is among a growing number of educators who view intermediate algebra as an obstacle to students obtaining their credentials — particularly in fields that require no higher level math skills." << teh confusion of ideas ffs.

mircea_popescu: in other lulz : obviously there's a "foundation" and a "code of conduct" (the usgistani nonsense copy/pasted) and a freenode chan, why not. ~600 accounts logged in (specifically :
http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/yDU6G/?raw=true ) , ZERO anyone has to say at all whatsoever. most are related to matrix.org, which is a pile of nonsensical lulz which you're more than welcome to try and make sense of by yourself. in any case, it's an "

mircea_popescu: anyway, let it be said that there's nothing wrong with oaep as far as we know, but for the sake of argument a mpfhf based padding scheme would conceivably work like this : 1. given message m, of length l, generate r = random bits, of length l' up to l but not less than 256 bits. 2. compose m' = r + m + c (in that order), where c is l - l` (and its bitness is always same as the bitness of len(m')-256). 3. compose Pm = R + S +

mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: to encrypt : take plaintext message M, no longer than 250 bytes, and zero-pad it to 250 bytes. take pile of random bits R 250 bytes long. calculate X = M xor R. calculate Y = R xor MPFHF(X) set for R.len = 250 bytes. RSA the 500 byte pile of X || Y. done. to decrypt : de-RSA the 500 byte pile. cut it in two halves. calculate R = Y xor X. calculate M as X xor R. done.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform understand this bit of GT : the knowledge of all the things you don't know thereby constructs a sybil of you.

mircea_popescu: but afaik keccak isn't that fix-space-able either.

mircea_popescu like, ticket? it was camping, mostly
erlehmann:
mircea_popescu i wanted to give a talk about non-existence dependencies at SHA 2017 and it was rejected with “provide a 5min lightning talk on problem instead”. problem: 5min are enough to understand the problem, not why you are having it or what follows from it.
erlehmann:
mircea_popescu one person hallucinated having seen the elusive djb redo c code that ultimately did not exist. another person was a release manager and made sure the problem does not exist. a third person wrote a cmake thingy longer than my own redo implementation. a freebsd developer confirmed the problem exists.
erlehmann:
mircea_popescu in a way, it does. no?

mircea_popescu: xor the bytes ?
PeterL:
mircea_popescu: but encrypting the r to one key and the r xor m to a second key, so you end up with two rsa-key-length segments

mircea_popescu:
https://www.ti89.com/cryptotut/rsa3.htm << very handy rsa tutorial in that it uses base 10 and alphabet-indexing for letters. so one can actually rsa by hand and get a good model of what's going on.
erlehmann:
mircea_popescu it feels like work. i had that experience a few minutes ago, when i explained to a rando on the train the concept of non-existence dependencies.
PeterL:
mircea_popescu suggested instead using a checksum

mircea_popescu: because the universal plan for wealth makes some great guidelines, but then since every situation is different, I'm trying to understand if there is a better approach for who hasn't already a job and is studying

mircea_popescu: but see, that's not at all the point. for one thing : all scholarship is nonsense. for the other, soviet school si entirely propaganda, which is to say "prepare organ donors for a certain way of life". the fucking point of the fixed form 3rd/4th grade composition is to allow the submarginal intellects making up the bulk of the population to tattoo their brains into a form that'll then allow them to survive, as traffic agents
BingoBoingo: <
mircea_popescu> asciilifeform like in any field, you piece together the bit reports of people in the know, pondered by their context. doesn't take an expert analyst to figure out briots were convenient cover for underground resettlement. << Lafond says this as well plus moving product into town

mircea_popescu: there's an absolute limit turkey dollars put on "tower to the moon" efforts : if you have at most 100 turkeys you can commit, printing further pictures of a turkey on paper will not help you in your effort to build the "cart driven by 101 turkeys". because the 101th physically does not exist.
